”Cumberbatch stars as Doctor Stephen Strange, a surgeon turned sorcerer supreme. In the comics, that career transition takes place during a trip to the Himalayas, a fact that may shed light on the scene currently being filmed in Nepal.” (Dit is een no-brainer, want deze origin-story komt in elke Doctor Strange-comic wel voor.)

”According to Latino Review, Doctor Strange will be an origin story that adheres to the source material pretty closely. Not a huge surprise, considering it’s Marvel Studios. However, the report goes into specifics, describing the opening scene in the film. Apparently the story opens in 1968 Kathmandu (the capital of Nepal) where some dark magic users open a portal to another dimension (probably making first contact with Dormammu, methinks). Leading the dark arts practitioner is a character named Kaecilius, who has ties to Baron Mordo in the Marvel Comics lore. From this first contact, the scene shifts to present day NYC, where we meet Doctor Strange, a gifted but arrogant surgeon. Reportedly, Strange damages his hands in a car accident while talking on his cell phone and even several surgeries from Dr. Nicodemus West are not enough to restore functionality to Strange’s fingers. His medical career is effectively over. Apparently his quest for a cure leads him to magic and subatomic particles (Kevin Feige previously stated that the MCU’s first introduction to the mystical realm would be in Ant-Man) and eventually to the doorstep of the Ancient One. Apparently, Strange’s journey to find the Ancient One is what is currently being filmed in Nepal. That’s all the site has to report for now but more details will surely make their way online in the coming months as filming continues.” (Dit sluit aan bij mijn theorie dat Mads Mikkelsen Dormammu misschien speelt en Nicodemus West komt er ook in voor. Ook biedt deze theorie genoeg verwijzingen naar de rest van de MCU met de Quantum Realm uit Ant-Man en een toevoeging aan de jaren 60, 70, 80-MCU-timeline, waar al een paar flashbacks van MCU-films en series plaatsvinden – Wilson Fisk’s flashback naar de jaren 60/70 uit Daredevil, scenes uit Iron Man 2 met Howard Stark uit de jaren 70 en Hank Pym’s flashback met Peggy Carter en Howard Stark in 1989. Eerder werd in Captain America: The Winter Soldier al een verbinding gemaakt naar de toekomstige Doctor Strange-film – op dat moment nog niet bekend dat er een Doctor Strange-film aan zat te komen – met het noemen van Stephen Strange als een potentieel gevaar door SHIELD-agent Jasper Sitwell. Op dat moment had Stephen Strange waarschijnlijk nog geen krachten en was hij nog gewoon een chirurg.)

”Although her character only appeared in a handful of episode during Daredevil’s fist season, Rosario Dawson’s Claire Temple quickly became a fan-favorite. So when it was announced shortly after Daredevil was renewed for a second season that Dawson would not only return for that show, but also the rest of the Netflix shows leading up to The Defenders, many fans were thrilled. It has already been confirmed that Dawson will appear in Jessica Jones, which will hit the streaming service in just two weeks, and now, thanks to a new interview with MTV, we know that Dawson has already started filming on the third series, Luke Cage.

As with any other Marvel project, while Dawson couldn’t reveal too much to MTV during their interview with her, she did reveal one interesting fact that fans should get excited about – we’re about to learn more about Claire Temple as she’s getting a relative on one of the shows! Unfortunately, we don’t know who is portraying this relative, or what relative this will even be, but it’s still exciting to see them building the character over the course of these shows.

“I was on ’Daredevil’ and ’Luke Cage’ going back and forth, and they cast someone who was supposed to be a family member to me and I was very excited about, I have to say,” she said. “When they announce her, I’m sure everybody will be very excited for me as well.”

Another small tidbit Dawson revealed during her interview? For fans looking forward to seeing Claire Temple on Jessica Jones, don’t expect her to show up until later in the series – something that Dawson herself wasn’t even aware of until recently.

“I only ever get the episode that I’m in pretty much, so I don’t know where it’s going,” she said, surprised herself to learn that (mild spoiler alert!) she doesn’t actually appear in the first half of “Jessica Jones.” ” And I think that’s how they do it, they really parse out the information. Like there’s no one person that can take down Marvel, cause there’s no one person knows about it. And they’re keeping me quiet.”

While it could be frustrating, moving between shows, especially not knowing when the next one is going into production, Dawson doesn’t seem to mind too much. For her, Dawson says that it helps to keep an “electric feeling” among the cast members.

“It keeps an electric feeling kind of going through because it’s not the same experience that we all just have normally on a film or something like that,” she said. “The secrecy and privacy makes us feel like we’re all a part of something and we have to protect it and do our best with it before we go and present it.”

If one show-stopping scene in “X-Men: Days of Future Past” wasn’t enough, then Quicksilver (and Evan Peters) fans will be glad to know that the mutant speedster will be make for more in 2016’s “X-Men: Apocalypse.” Peters’ involvement in the film isn’t news, though, as he’s been featured in already released promotional stills; what is news is that we now know the scope of his role in the film, as Peters revealed to Details. And fans of the comic version of Pietro Maximoff will probably like where the character is going.

When winkingly asked to clarify that the title “X-Men: Apocalyse” in no way implies a zombie apocalypse, Peters replied, “Ha! No, it’s not. Although that would be amazing if Apocalypse brought back the dead to help him take over the earth. I love zombies; I can’t get enough. But the story is that my character is searching for his father and wants to find him. It starts there and then he jumps on the X-Men train and gets sucked up in this whole Apocalypse madness: He tries to stop him from destroying the world.”

The official synopsis for the film mentions that “a disheartened” Magneto (Michael Fassbender) will sign up with Apocalypse, a move that most likely ties in with Peters’ comments about “searching for his father.” One scene in “X-Men: Days of Future Past” also hinted at Magneto being Quicksilver’s father, with the speedster commenting that his mother used to know a guy that could control metal.

Peters’ new comments imply that the X-Men movie franchise is finally going to acknowledge Magneto and Quicksilver’s familial connection — a connection that could not be used in Marvel movies due to Marvel Studios not owning the X-Men characters, and a connection that has since been retconned out of the comics themselves. But Magneto was Quicksilver (and Scarlet Witch’s) canonical father for almost 30 years, and a lot of fans became very invested in Magneto’s family tree.
